Brought another 2G home
So I brought another one home. Basically a parts car for my ITS habit with a blown o-ring. Gonna strip it and sell off all the stuff I won't use. But it appears the tub is solid. Maybe better than what I started with when i did my IT car. So I'm thinking of setting it off to the side and slowly building up a Production car. I know some of you Prod guys are on here. Can you point me to the good Prod sites. And what is the general consensus on the competitiveness of a tin-top 2G?

It's actually got the aero kit and all the pieces are in good shape. I got pretty wet when I saw that.

"Tin top", I like that term. Mine has no sunroof, either. Those models seem hard to find.

Check the Mariah Motorsports site ( http://www.mariahmotorsports.com/ ) they built a couple VERY Competitive E-Production 2nd Gens inculding the current (2002) SoPac Div Regional champion FROG team car.

The 2nd gen is actually quite competitive in Production now. I personally believe the 1st gens still have a slight rules advantage, but the 2G, is catching up.
The question you really need to ask is; do I want a "regional" runner or a "national" contender. We won the So-Pac region quite handily last year, but the National series is really quite different.
I would say that one could get away with a $30-35k regional car and be real competitive. Once you move onto the National scene, I would say minimum $50-60K to play with the big boys. A lot of the front-runners are way beyond these figures, at the National level.
I don't know of many web-sites that have good information but the following should help, as contacts:
http://www.mariahmotorsports.com
http://www.mazdatrix.com
http://www.sdjmotorsports.com/
http://www.trrotorsports.com/
They are all involved in E-Prod racing.
Cheers,

The full National level car is under construction and should be out in some months.
